SCHOOL BOARD
ADOPTS PLANS
FOR BUILDING
Type of building sought for the
home economics cottage at the
Stephenville High School has been
adopted and plans of campaigning
for material and transportation of
the stone donated by Fred Ander-
son, or that of any one else who
wishes to give stone, will be per-
fected at a called meeting of the
Board of Education Thursday at
6 p. m. o’clock. '
Names of all donors will be
printed on a large card, which
will be framed and hung on the
wall of the building when com-
pleted. This will remain the prop-
erty of the public school and will
be a reminder to future genera-
the building without bonding the
district.
Donations may consist of mon-
ey, labor, material or tools with
which to work. Superintendent J.
E, Burnett states that a day’s
work or the loan of a pick will be
appreciated just the same as the
hauling of stone or the sawing of
lumber. There are several ways,
he states, that any individual may
be able to make his contribution
to be equally helpful in furthering
the project.
Speaking about the cost of the
building, Burnett said, “Not one
person consulted with reference
to this matter has expressed an
adverse opinion and it is to be
hoped that no one will get the idea
that the expense of the building
will be a burden to anyone.
“The president of the school
board. Fred Anderson, -has gladly
agreed to give the stone necessary
for this building, but if there is
anyone who has ornamental stone
and would like to make a contri-
bution in that line, it would be
deeply appreciated.”
pROM reports that are being
heard on every hand all the
people in Grand Old Erath county
should, by all means, visit the
Centennial Exposition in Dallas.
Many who visited Chicago and
some few who were in San Diego
declare there is no comparison—
that the Texas show is by far big-
ger and better than either. Re-
gardless of all that and without
casting any reflection on the mer-
its of any other world’s fair it is
not too much to say that every
Texan can get a lot of pleasure
and satisfaction out of the Dallas
show. There is both educational
and entertainment features on ev-
ery hand—by far too many to ex-
plain and attempt to properly de-
scribe.
Two Killed And 9 Hurt
As Boiler of Thrasher
Explodes At Comanche
Two men were killed, eight chil-
dren and and another man injured,
three perhaps critically, .when a
thrashing machine boiler exploded
on a street in the residential dis-
trict of Comanche Tuesday.
The dead were John Carroll, 34,
and George Pate, 62, both of Co-
manche.
The seriously injured:
Charles Flippo, 10; J. D. Adams,
12, and Kenneth Walcott, 13. They
were rushed to a hospital at Gor-
man.
Others injured were Gaston
York, 12; Mary Ellen Flippo, 9;
John Luper, 12; Pat Luper, 9; Ber-
tie Joe Luper, 14, and Clyde Luper,
37, father of the latter three.
After an examination the Wal-
ly burned, but physicians held out
hopes for his recovery..The Adams
boy was burned about the limbs
and Charles Flippo received severe
cuts.
Carroll and Pate were operating
the thrashing machine on a farm
two miles south of Comanche all
morning. Some defect developed
and they drove it into town for re-
pairs.
The blast occurred in front of the
Luper and Frank Clarke homes,
both of which were ignited and
damaged by fire.
Pate’s body was blown 75 feet,
Carroll’s 30 feet and derbis from
the machine was hurled a distance
of two blocks. With the exception
of Luper and his children, the in-
jured were following the lumbering
machine down the street.
All were cut and burned by the
explosion.
It is believed that the oil burn-
ers under the thrashing machine’s
boilers were not cut off when Car-
roll and Pate left the farm and
that the water reached a low level
as they drove into town, causing
the explbsion.
An automobile In front of the
Luper home was demolished by
the blast, which was heard all over
the town and Mrs. Luper, who was
inside her residence, was severely
shocked, but otherwise unhurt.
Pate is survived bv bis widow
and four children and his father, J.
W. Pate; Carroll by his widow and
two stepdaughters.
AGED WILL GET
FIRST CHECKS
NEXT MONTH
’J’HE soldiers are again a happy
lot; the bonus money is some-
thing to bring about new courage
and happiness supreme. Many
are the tales of other days that
have been recounted the past
week. The veterans openly de-
clare that absolutely nothing
pleases a soldier more than pay
day. And it was a hefty pay day
—8307,000 in Erath county alone
and millions for Texas.
^T the present time there are
at least six public works pro-
jects under way in and around
the city of Stephenville, employ-
ing a combined pay roll of several
hundred men. Added to these are
many individual projects that go
to make jobs for men who were
idle twelve months ago. Regard-
less of what the future may hold
for this great country and in face
of any predictions that may be
made about the outcome of the
presidential campaign, Stephen-
ville is moving along in fine style.
More men are employed and busi-
ness conditions are undoubtedly
better here than they have been in
five years. Other prospective
building propositions this depart-
ment happens to know about will
swell the total for the year up to
a handsome total.
A swimming pool and recrea-
tional center^in^tcphenville
would bring about a condition
that would please lots of people.
In Cleburne where city officials
completed a similar project it is
reported that in six weeks time
the net profits from the swim-
ming pool alone was better than
$2,000. Do not allow disdaining
politicians tell you there is no
merit to a proposition of thin
kind. When a candidate for pub-
lic office criticizes such civic en-
terprise he i* perhaps more in-
terested in votes than he is the
good of the community.
j£VEN with all the rains that
came the latter part of May
there is today a definite need of

'. 1J. T. Kimbro, member of the
commission appointed by the State
to assist in 'administering aid to
those who qualify on the pension
rolls of Texas, issued the following
public statement while in Brady
Monday morning, the interview be-
ing carried in the Brady Standard
of the date:
The Old Age Assistance Com-
mission expects to be able to make
its initial old age assistance pay-
ment in July, H. T. Kimbro, Lub-
bock, member of the commission,
said this morning while here on a
visit to the local district office.
Mr. Kimbro says that the task
of gathering the data necessary for
assistance and perfecting organiza-
tion capable of administering to
the needs of from 15U,000 to 200,-
000 people in every county of the
State, is perhaps the largest job
that has been handed to any or-
ganization in the history of the
State.
He says that the program which
the St^te has launched is to be one
of the most helpful undertaken
by the State government, and all of
its subordinates are alive to the
obligation which they owe to the
old people ot the State and to the
taxpayers who will eventually foot
the bill.
There are many misunderstand-
ing about the bill, Mr. Kimbro
says. For one thing, the word
“pension” is not mentioned' in the
act anywhere and the act passed
by the Legislature is not a pension
bill. It is to give assistance to the
aged who are in need, he said.
“We must administer the act
passed by the Legislature, not the
one some people think was passed,”
he said. “Not only must our rules
conform to the act itself, but we
must follow the National Security
Act, adopted by Congress. If we
do not observe the Federal act, we
cannot get the dollar for dollar al-
lowance, up to 815 per month,
which the national government has
authorized. The Federal act rec-
ognizes only those in actual need
as eligible for assistance. If we
made age the sole consideration,
we could not qualify under the Fed-
eral act and the people would lose
the Federal grants. If we under-
took to give the same assistance
to every person in the State over
65 years of age, regardless of their
financial condition, it would not
only cost us the national aid, but
would require 60 millions dollars
a year from the taxpayers of the
State.
We have 195,000 applications on
file. These must be investigated
carefully. The law charges the
commission with the responsibility
of giving assistance to those in
need over 65 years of age “accord-
irg to their standards of living.”
We cannot do this without investi-
gation. Many of these old people
have forgotten the date of their
birth. Others have little proof of
age. To get these essential details
takes time. We ask that these old
people be patient. We think now
that we can begin payment by
July. But more important than
anything else, people should re-
member that this is not a pension
—it Is old age assistance—and as-
sistance to the needy.
Grand Celebration
Of Masonic Lodge
Held Friday Night
W. Marcus Weatherred of Cole-
man, Grand Master of the Masonic
Lodge of Texas, and G. Bedford,
also of Coleman, secretary to the
Grand Master, were among those
present at the celebration of the
75th anniversary of the Stephen-
ville Masonic Lodge Friday night.
The Grand Master conferred a
master’s degree on Mr. Roul of
Dublin and afterwards made a talk
to the local organization.
Chicken barbecue was served at
6:30 to the Masons and their
families. Twenty lodges were rep-
resented by 62 members present.
Invitations were sent out to lodges
in all adjoining counties.
Another distinguished guest was
George T. I .a mar, District Deputy
of Cross Plains.
After the degree was conferred,
the members went into a business
session and the annual election of
officers ensued. The ones elected
were Charles Dawson, worshipful
master; II. E. Braeuer, senior war-
den: FI me White, junior warden;
J. E. Redden, treasurer; W. E.
Lyle, secretary; Hub Willis, tiler.
The Stephenville Lodge was

members and has functioned con-
tinuously since that time.
Museum Body Will
Have Luncheon On
June Twenty-Fifth
Tentative plans for a luncheon
to be held at Mothershead Cot-
tage Thursday, June 25, at one
o’clock were made by members of
the Historical and Museum Asso-
ciation in their regular meeting
Saturday afternoon at two o’clock
in the assembly room of the Cham-
ber of Commerce.
Since the luncheon will be for
the executive board, all members
of the board are to be invited
guests of the association that day.
An effort will be made to have
some out-of-town speaker to be
present on that day, together with
several invited guests from Ste-
phenville and Dublin.
After the luncheon and a short
program at the Mothershead Cot-
tage, the entire group will be
taken to the Public Library where
the exhibit of the association al-
ready on display there will be
viewed. *
The association has collected
several articles for the exhibit and
has the promise of a great many
more. It is the ultimate goal of
the organization to have a stone
building erected for the purpose
of housing the articles and to hire
a caretaker, in order that the pub-
lic may go at any time and view
the collection. -

Rebuilds And Adds
Much to Floor Space
PLANS MADETO
BETTER LOCAL
PLAY HOUSE
Plans for the complete rebuild-
ing of the ldwer floor and added
comfort for patrons all over the
building have been made by the
management of the Majestic The-
atre, Tom Donnell announced the
past week. Workmen will begin
the improvement program im-
mediately after the theatre closes
its Thursday night run.
New upholstered cushion seats
will be placed on the lower floor
with many improvements in the
seating arrangement in the bal-
cony. The box office will also
be changed, and exits from the
second floor rearranged so as to
eliminate as much as possible any
interference with the sound effects
of ' the pictures. When all im-
provements are made and the con-
templated changes are effected it
is believed the Majestic will not
be surpassed in equipment, comfort
and general arrangement by any
small city theatre in Texas.
The Majestic was originally
opened in 1920 and at that time
represented the latest word In
modern picture effects. It was
said at that time that it was too
expensive for a placg no larger
than Stephenville, yet the faith of
the builders has in later years
been entirely justified from the
manner in which people in this
area have responded to the featur-
es offered from day to day. It has
been the policy of the management
all through these years to improve
at every opportunity, and no new
innovation in pictures has been
placed on the market that was not
patrons of the Majestic.
The rebuilding program should
be completed and ready for the
convenience of patrons of the Ma-
jestic within a comparatively short
time.

FOR HEARING
OF PETITION
The restraining injunction pe-
tition fHyd before District Judge
Sam M. Russell by a group of
Dublin business men seeking to
restrain the county from issuing
warrants for the payment of sal-
ary of the county agent was post-
poned until August 22 when coun-
sel for both plaintiff and defense
argued technical points of law
before the court Wednesday morn-
ing.
Judge Russell issued a state-
ment saying that the hearing was

which according to plea in abate-
ment was argued by C. O. McMil-
lan, counsel for defendant, were
necessary parties in the litigation

to the outcome of the order and a
fairly large crowd of people was
in the district court room when it
was called for a hearing.
Rattlesnake Bite
Is Fatal To Youth
In Hood County
Teddy L. Furlnw, 10-year-old son
of Mr. and Mrs. Foster Fi
who live three miles north of To-
lar, died Monday from the effects
of a rattlesnake bite. The reptile
bit him twice and was described
as one of the largest ever seen in
that vicinity.
Young Furlow was on a picnic
with a group of friends when the
tragedy climaxed the outing. Emer-
gency treatment was given at once

ROAD WORK IS
AWAITING MEN
Cook & Cook of Crockett, low
bidders for the contract on con-
struction of 6.3 miles of lateral
road work between Morgan Mill
and the Hood county line, has re-
ceived a work order from the State
Highway Department and are
ready to begin work on the proj-
ect as soon as enough men are
available.
The local re-employment service
office will furnish the men as fast
as possible, but some difficulty is
experienced in getting enough of
the eligibles for the job. The con-
tract calls for an expenditure of

George Stephens In Town
George Stephens, former express
messenger on the Cotton Belt lines
between Stephenville and Waco,
but now employed in Fort Worth,
has been in the city the past week
visiting friends.
Through the co-operation of
county and city officials, local
business people and a number of
others, a new electric water cooler
will soon be placed in the court
house and will furnish the general
public a cold drink of water any
time they want it.
The city and county each paid
$50 on the cooler and business
people, county officials and others
contributed $69 to" raise the pur-
chase price to $169.00. The origi-
nal price of the cooler was more
than $200, according to Mayor
Henry Clark, but the $169 price
was agreed upon in order that
there might be no delay in secur-
ing the benefits of the system.
The cooler will be installed on
the second floor of the court house,
but the water will be piped to the
first floor through an insulated
copper pipe. It is probable that
the public may drink at a place
provided on both floors.
Mnyor Henry Clark stated that
the city and county officials, as
well as the others who contributed
on the purchase price, felt that
the general public was entitled
to this service and that everyone
was invited to visit the court
house when the cooler is installed
and get a good, cold drink of
sanitary water.

50-F00T FRONT
LEASE CLOSED
BY SAFEWAY
One of the largest lease con-
tracts closed in Stephenville in
some years was consumated the
past week when the Safeway Gro-
cery Company took a lease on a
fifty-foot front building on East
Washington street. The property ia
owned by Neblett & King and for
a period of several years has been
occupied by the post office and
Stigler Ilokus Pokus Grocery. The
cast half of the building will be
vacated by Stigler not later than
July 1st, the firm having leased
the Livingston building earlier in
the year. The post office is also
due to move to the new federal
building by July 1st.______________________
Workmen have already been em-
ployed to begin a complete re-
building of tbe front and interior
of the fifty-foot structure with a
view of making k one of the most
modern in the city. The Safeway
Company has announced that its
Stephenville store will be one of
the most complete in its organiza-
tion, with three separate depart-
ments—groceries, market, fruits
and vegetables. The company has
a contract to occupy the building
not later than August 1st and at
that time expects to hold its formal
opening.
Cost of the improvements will
approximate $4000, while" the ex-
pense of the new firm in locating
here will add at least ’ another
$1,000 al| of which will go for labor
and materials.
The Safeway Company operates
in many citips and towns over Tex-
as and is considered one of the
largest distributors of foods. Ac-
cording to information given the
Empire - Tribune the company
chooses a manager from its es-
tablished forces but will probably
engage local people for the sales
force. The firm likewise takes an
active part in the civic and com-
mercial affairs of whatever town
it locales in, supporting the Cham-
ber of Commerce with paid mem-
berships and contributing in all
other ways possible to the upbuild-
ing of the community.

Many View Strange
Oldsmobile8 Shown
Here Last Monday
A number of local citizens view-
ed the parade and exhibition of
old-model Oldsmobile automobiles
here from 12 o'clock until three
o’clock Monday afternoon. The
group of Oldsmobile people and
automobiles composed a goodwill
caravan which is souring the State.
After the parade, in which Mayor
Henry Clark rode in the two old-
type cars, the entire caravan was
on exhibition at the Brown &
Pearcy Motor Co., local Oldsmobile
dealers.
One of the machines was the
type manufactured by the Oldsmo-
bile Company in 1902 and the ether
was a product of the firm in 1910.
Both were operated under their
own power. Pictures were taken
of the old cars with a group of
Erath county people included in
the photos.
History of the Oldsmobile was
told to the crowds which gathered
during the exhibition by one of
the members of the caravan.
Can Vote Free If 6nly 21
Attorney General William Me-
Craw ruled Tuesday that any per-
son who becomes 21 before an elec-
tion has the privilege of voting
free provided he has obtained an
exemption certificate as required
by law. No exemption is necessary
except'in cities of 10,000 population
or over. The unders will not be
reouired to have an exemption in
Stephenville. McCraw said his rul-
ing was given because several
county tax collectors had thought
that the law required a person to
he 21 years old before January 1,
oreceding an election to be eligible
for a free vote.
Conference Adult
Teachers Held At
Hamilton Monday
The district adult teachers asso-
ciation, comprising those engaged
in this work from Erath, Hamil-
ton and Coryell counties, held an
interesting conference in Hamilton
Monday of last week when more
than 75 representatives and citi-
zens were present for a discussion
of the work being done. At night
the Hamilton Chamber of Com-
merce served the visitors dinner
with Chas. B. Nochols, of Stephen-
ville, acting as toastmaster.
